For trips to Abu Dhabi, the Pope chose a youth subcompact

A video in which Pope Francis travels around the capital of the United Arab Emirates in a Kia Soul car circled all social networks and news outlets in the UAE.

On social networks in the United Arab Emirates, a video is gaining popularity, which shows how horsemen of the guard of honor accompany the car of the Pope, who is on an official visit to the UAE.

The piquancy of the video is given by the fact that the pontiff, instead of the executive limousine, chose the compact five-door subcompact Kia Soul to move around the city.

The video captures the moment when a car with the head of the Roman Catholic church, surrounded by cavalrymen, leaves the territory of Emirates Palace, where the pontiff attended the Global Conference of Human Fraternity conference.

However, if you do not take into account the size of the car, everything else was royal - and the guard of honor, which met dad with salute, and the solemn passage of the fighters of the UAE Al Forsan aerobatic team, which painted the sky over Abu Dhabi in the colors of the Vatican flag.

During his visit, the head of the Catholic Church will visit Sheikh Zayed Mosque, meet with the Muslim Council of Elders, led by the Great Imam Al-Azhar, and hold a mass at tens of thousands of believers at Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

Kia Soul - a car company "Kia Motors". The class of the car cannot be precisely determined, but it most closely matches the description of a mini SUV. KIA Soul was noted by AutoWeek magazine, which in its September 7, 2009 issue named it one of the "10 Best and Safest Youth Cars."
